Their Footing Failed and Down
? . They Sunk.
Multitudes were very busy in the pursuit
•f tumbles that glittered In their eyes and
dineed tiefore them—
But often, when they thought theuiselv
within reach of them, their footing fulled
and down thev sunk.
It Is a frailty of humun nature to be
harsh and cold toward the frailty of
human nature. Most of us—even those
of us who take pride to ourselves for
being considerate anti tolerant, as we
deem to think, find our tongue often
saying and our mind oftener thinking,
“I told you so,” or “you might havi
known better.”
This when It happened that their
footing failed and down they sunk.
It Is a frailty of humun nature to be
busy In the pursuit of baubles, baubles
that glitter In the eyes and dance be
fore them. One may by taking thought
<*om««J0-the belief that the only erring
path*,)YP, take In life are those by-ways
whoie course we follow In the chose
of the glittering and dancing bauble.
One may be dazzled by the Irides
cent glory of wealth, or pump of pow
er, another by the delectable gleam of
fugitive pleasure, or alluring enchant
ment of .eminence In society. All of us
pursue that which we have not,
have not In fulness. And, haply, our
footing fall* and down we sink.
The papers of this week have had
much to say about the uuhapplness of
the marriages of two American worn-
. en. It Is the popular opinion, however
fallacious that be, that these women
had bartered their countless wealth for
wealthless counts. If the play on words
may be pardoned. It is the belief of
those—who really have no right to un
opinion about It—that these two
American women entered Into mnrital
alliances with foreign nobles, having
all the faults and vices peculiar to tile
third and fourth degeneration, solely
because they were willing to sell thein-
sc^ves and their millions for the dwarf
ed glory and prestige of partlclpancy In
an old world title. With untold wealth,
beauty, education and position In
American society, they sought that
which of all things in the world they
had not. A title.
They were only busy In the pursuit
of baubles that glittered In their eyes
and danced before them.
But when they thought themselves
within reach of them their footing fail
ed and down they sunk.
There Is no moral to this. Humanity
must chase Its bauble*—else It Is not
human but superhuman. But let us
keep In mind when we see their foot
ing fall and down they sink that we,
too, have pursued or are seeking bau
bles—maybe of another sort, but bau
bles none the less elusive nnd profit
less.
SATURDAY EVENING.
All men and women, who were fortunate enough to have heard the
great evangelist. Rev. Dwight Moody, preach, were impressed • with three
c haracteristics, which he possessed to an emlnenf degree, nnd which consti
tuted the foundation u|sm which was hultded his marvelous power over
No one ever listened Intelligently to*thffc very remarkable man without
i call zing the utter nnd entire absence of self In hls preaching; hla tre
mendous earnestness of purpose and his Intense nnd beautiful faith.
These three things made. Mr. Moody one of the very wonderful pulpit orators
of modern times. Ills Jack of the faintest suggestion of personal vanity, or
of self-cons* lousness, was alt the more surprising when It is recalled the
Interest he awoke and the sensation he created by his sermons In all i»or-
tl.»ns of the English speaking world. This characteristic' alone entitled
him to profound consideration and emphasized the fact that vanity Is a
component part of only small, circumscribed brains.
Hls earnestness was Infectious—al! earnestness Is and will always con
tinue to be.
No man or woman ever accomplished anything in life without this es
sential quality. The failures have been rarely made by _persons who are
thoroughly aroused upon u subject and who pursue an aim with Intelligent
enthusiasm and with a serlousnew of determination. And then Mr. Moody
bud unquestioning trust nnd childlike belief In God and Hls revealed Word.
The eagerness with which men listened to the teachings of such absolute,
beautiful fnlth evidenced the craving of humanity for the simple, glorious
gospel of the early fathers. It Is a notable fact that in these latter days the
Jmollei t and Influence of the most gifted men and women of the world are
being thrown on the side of a pure anti undented Christianity.
The specious reasoning of the agnostic makes but small Impression
upon the people larger The mental vanity of a certain class of present-
day preachers*, which finds expression In futile efforts to bring into disre
pute the fundamental tenets of the Apostles' Creed, arouses but an Intfgnifi-
cant and inconsequential following. The. weight of genius and,of cultiva
tion have been largely thrown on the side of a genuine, wholesome Chris
tianity nnd of all men most miserable is be whose restless, unsettled brain
is forever at war with bis own soul. The constantly Increasing tendency on
the part of the public toward a thorough appreciation of true godliness Is
one of the most encouraging Indications of the present times, and suggests
more, perhaps, than anything else, the growth of a sincere Christian senti
ment. This Is nn era of action, not of Inertia, of living as well as talking,
and no man can preach a sermon—even though he possess the tongue of an
ungel—half so powerful for good as bis own dally walk In and out the
devious paths of life will prove.
The world demands that what a man teaches he must exemplify, not In
one small particular, not In the keeping of one or two Scriptural injunc
tions—j>ei haps in accord with hls natural temperament—but he must make
all the sacrifices, bear all the btfrdcn*. exhibit the never-ceasing energy In
well-doing of St. Paul, or hls preaching and teaching will be In vain and
but a* "sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.”
All classes, creeds nnd conditions or men gladly show every mark of
respect for a man whose everyday living is In keeping with the sacred vows
be has assumed, regardless of personal sacrifices entailed. The noble, up
right, self-sacrificing Jives of a very large majority of the preachers of
today have done much to bring about the acceptance of Christianity by the
masses of mankind. Living, as these godly men do, with the white light of
investigation beating upon them constantly, they stand forth before the
world without reproach.
Human, yet self-subduing, they furnish such manly examples of a
wholesome Christianity that the veriest worldling honors them for their
purity nnd for their honesty, nnd Is anxious to emulate their splendid
virtues. Religious sentiment Is Increasing and the dally lives of the mln-
l*J.ers of the gospel—with a few exceptions—are incentives to greater
growth. They exemplify—with rare exceptions—the teachings of Christ, and
thereby strengthen the fnlth of humanity in the doctrines they expound.
When the world decides that a man is nn unworthy teacher or preacher,
U Is generally the fault of the man, ami not of the world.
Mr. Moody fell ■ on*'sleep with the followers of every religious sect do
ing him honor as u mdn/>f simple, earnest, beautiful faith, whoso everyday
living was a sermon in perfect and complete accord with the sacred texts
of the Sermon on the Mount.
Hut the crowning glory of this great evangelist’s life was the sweet and
tender humility with which he sut at the foot of the cross, accepting
with the loving faith of a little child the simple but tremendous truth of
the salvation of mankind through the atonement made on Calvary’s height.
fa! appetite, heightened by a romp. In
the fields or a dip Jn the creek, had a
great deal to do * with the way they
appealed to us. Hut thousands>'of hus
bands at one side and ten thousand at
our right hapd are ready to testify,
without hope of reward or fear of pun
ishment, that the wife of their bosom
can make biscuit which do not bring
on battle, murder or sudden death.
So that's another gag nailed.
And.yet these very exceptions may
only tend to establish the fact that
for once the trite old jest should be
taken In earnest, ami that most women,
with the exception of Lily Blake nnd
Carrie Cutt, are really and truly afraid
of mice.
The relative degree of fear on the
part of n man and a woman would be
difficult to establish. In order to make
anything like a fair test they would
have to be placed under the same han
dicap.
We might get some man—Mr. Ed

"LADY BALTIMORE” FOR PUTNAM’S
Joseph Madison High.
The death of Mr. Joseph Madison
High, after a long and stalwart struggle
In mortal illness, remove* from Atlan
ta another of those men who made the
city what it Is.
Mr. High wus endowed with the ge
nius for business; he supplemented this
gift with intelligent study and never-
ceasing labor. And in thirty years in
Atlanta he accumulated one of the
largest fortunes ever made In the
South in a mer cantile'business.
Yet, strange to say, he was one of
the most Inconspicuous of Atlanta’s
citizens. He was known by sight to
but few save those with whom he came
into business and social contact. This
was due to the fact that he was of
modest, retiring disposition and be
cause he devoted all of hls time and cn
ergy to hls business. Yet he was nev
er delinquent in any enterprise or pub
lie movement that made for the good
of Atlanta or Its people.
The part he played In the upbuilding
of Atlanta was important—though not
heralded with flare of trumpet—and hls
place In Atlanta will not soon be filled.

And now the Central of Georgia railroad Is seeking the prop

The case Is this:
During the panic of the early '80s, the state raili
lowed the Central of Georgia to Increase Its freight rates 25 per cent, the
avowed reason being to save the toad from bankruptcy. Xotv, by circular

Hi per cent. Tills will leave the rates higher than those of the standard
tariff of 1890.
The railroad Is lighting the reduction of the tariff, saying that.lt will
deprive It of u fair return upon the value of the property. A Ft

St. Anthony Bobs Up Again.
The present excitement and interest
shown In the Hearst and Hughes cam
paigns, the international divorce pro
ceedings which are occupying a large
part of the dally papers and the alle
gation that Mrs. Eddy was shadow and
not substance, were too much for An
thony Comstock. He was about to be
forgotten.
The case which the secretury of the
Nice Society made against the Art
Students’ League, of New York, claim
ing that tho catalogue or prospectus of
the school was indecent, Is. one of the
most absurd as well as deplorable mis
takes this sensational Comstock has
made. The League, which has been
established over 30 years, is recognized
as the leading art school in America
nnd ranks with the very best schools
In Europe. Associated with the League
from the very beginning have*been the
foremost artists of America, whose
character and ability have never
been assailed until now. This school,
which has over a thousand students,
Is known over the country lor its thor
ough respectability. But Mr. Comstock
Is not so vehement In hls denunciation
of .the League as he Is violent In de
nouncing its catalogue for the simple
reason that It contains pictures of the
nude, or examples of the students' work
done in the life classes. Has It ever
occurred to this "wise” secretary that
It Is absolutely necessary for an artist
to be thoroughly familiar with the nude
In order to either paint a portrait or
mould a form? It Is Just as necessary
for him to know the anatomy of the
human form as it Is for a physician to
understand It. It Is no more immoral
for nn artist to draw from the nude
than It Is for a man or woman physl-
hi
simply a matter of business. Therefore
the catalogue of the Art Students'
League or of any other art school
which explains the work done in Its in-
sUtutlens has Just ns much right to be
circulated among prospective art stu
dents as u medical book or journal has
to be c irculated among prospective stu
dents of a medical college.
There certainly Is nothing more
beautiful than the human form, but
who would expect stolid, staid, delud
ed Mr. Comstock to understand or ap
preciate denuded art?
The hearing of St. Anthony’s plaint,
which comes up before Magistrate
Mayo In the next few days, will be
awaited with interest and ardent hope
for the suppression of Comstock.
LINCOLN'S FAMOUS PHRASE.
In hls world-famous ' "Gettysburg
Speech” Lincoln declared that the men
whose monument they were then dedi
cating had died in order thdt “govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people should not peiisa from
the earth.”
Like lightning the phrMse electrified
the nation, nnd from that day to this it
has remained the most celebrated sav
ing in the most celebrated speech «.f
modern times.
But fame always has to pay a big
price for itself, and repeatedly slm«
. Lincoln’s brief, but Immortal, address
was delivered It hgs been Intimated
that the martyred president was u
plagiarist, having taken from another
the most striking phrase in hls speeeh
without making any acknowledgment
of the fact.
To these intimations have come the
counter claims that Lincoln’s celebrated
phrase was strictly original with him
self, and that to Lincoln aione belongs
the honor and glory of having coined n.

the people, by the people and for the

In an address before the Anti-Slav
ery Society of New England, Theodore
Parker, the celebrated Unitarian di
vine, on May 28. 1850, used these
words: "Democracy Is n government of
alltthe people, by all the people, und,
of course, for all the people.”
To go a great deal further back than
we have yet gone, we find a Greek
demagogue of the uge of Pericles, Cleon
by name, saying, about the year 420
B. <\: "Men of Athens, I am in favor
of the democracy'’that shall be demo
cratic, that shall give us the rule which
shall be of the people, by the people
and for the people.”
The similarity between all these
phrases is perfect, and It goes without
saying that Mr. Lincoln could not.
therefore, have originated tho famous
expression ns found in his Gettysburg
oration.
It does not by any means follow,
however, that Lincoln was a conscious
plagiarist. Mr. Lincoln had an Inquir
ing mind, and knew a greut many
things, but no man can know every
thing; and It is more than likely that
he had never heard of the phrase until
hls own mliul had conceived It.
But even If ft was proven that Lin
coln had appropriated the phrase, as
charged, the fact would militate In no
serious way against hls fame.
The greatest of the Germans, the
immortal Goethe, declared one day to
an intimate friend that if everything In
hls works that he had got Tram others
should be stricken out he would nut
have a dozen pages left.
The greatest of the great in the fields
of literature, philosophy and eloquence
